Fluoride Treatment

At Dr. Barzi Brookline Dental, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive dental care that includes preventive measures like fluoride treatments. This essential service is part of our commitment to helping patients of all ages maintain optimal oral health and prevent dental cavities.

Fluoride treatments involve the application of a fluoride varnish, gel or foam to the teeth, a mineral known for its cavity-fighting properties. Fluoride helps to rebuild and strengthen tooth enamel, the outer protective layer of the teeth, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque and sugars in the mouth. This treatment is particularly beneficial in preventing decay and enhancing the teeth’s natural defense mechanisms.

The process of applying fluoride treatments is quick, painless and non-invasive. It involves:

• Thoroughly cleaning the teeth to ensure the fluoride adheres properly.
• Applying the fluoride in the form of a varnish, gel or foam to the teeth.
• Allowing the fluoride to remain on the teeth for a few minutes to maximize its strengthening effect.
• Rinsing the mouth to remove any excess fluoride, completing the treatment.

Benefits of fluoride treatments include:

• A significant reduction in the risk of developing dental cavities on treated surfaces.
• Strengthening of tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to decay.
• A cost-effective preventive measure that can save money on future dental treatments.
• A quick and comfortable treatment process, with an immediate return to normal activities.
